With the working title This is Woking 2004, the chamber plans to use HG Wells to stage a business, home and leisure exhibition with more than 50 stands attracting the general public as well as the commercial community. The one or, possibly, two-day event is also likely to include plenty of activity with demonstrations and seminars keeping it busy and providing various points of focus. The chamber has turned to Pan Presentations to develop the concept, organise the show, sell the exhibition space and cover all the logistics on the day. Pan is based in Woking with offices on the Lansbury Estate. It is responsible for conceiving and running a number of national events such as Display, Computer and Internet Crime 2004 and ADMS 2003 at the NEC. Managing director Paul Webster has more than four decades of experience as an exhibition professional. He founded Pan Presentations 11 years ago. He said: “It is important that This Is Woking has a broad appeal is not just a business to business exhibition. “We hope to attract garden centres, leisure centres, estate agents, solicitors, accountants and all types of service providers who meet the needs of the public as well as business. The exhibition could also have a recruitment element with companies seeking staff presenting their job opportunities. Paul said: “Pan would very much like this to become an annual show. “But the first one is always, of course, the most difficult to make succeed. “We will need good partners, including the local media, to ensure the event is well known and talked about. “Because of our experience we are in an excellent position to help exhibitors maximise the potential of taking part. “We even produce a free booklet that helps overcome the pitfalls of exhibiting that if done properly can be a very economic way of reaching people.”
